(MENAFN- AzerNews) Türkiye's Communications Directorate launched the "Solidarity of
the Century" campaign to draw attention to the solidarity
demonstrated by the Turkish nation after last month's devastating
earthquakes.
“In order to reduce the indescribable suffering of our brothers
and sisters in the earthquake region, to heal their wounds and to
fight the devastating consequences of the disaster with courage and
determination, our state and nation showed the solidarity of the
century, which is an example to the whole world,” Communications
Director Fahrettin Altun said in a statement on Thursday.
On Feb. 6, magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 quakes struck 11 Turkish
provinces – Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Elazig, Hatay, Gaziantep,
Kahramanmaras, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye and Sanliurfa – claiming
the lives of over 50,000 people.
More than 13.5 million people in Türkiye have been affected by
the quakes as well as many others in northern Syria.
"We will work day and night with all our strength to leave these
painful days behind, to heal the wounds of Türkiye, to return our
citizens to their homes as soon as possible, and to rebuild and
revive the region," Altun said.
The campaign, which was launched with the slogan Together We Are
Türkiye, emphasizes the importance of the solidarity of the state
and the nation in the face of the recent disaster.
Within the scope of the campaign, a public service advertisement
was also published by the directorate.
